Global freight and logistics giant - DB Schenker - selects Hyundai Forklifts for multiple Australian sites
=============================================
Hyundai Forklifts Australia (HFA) and its premium dealer in
NSW, Rentcorp, will supply in excess of 150 forklifts to Schenker Australia Pty Ltd – part of the DB Schenker global network, one of the world’s leading transportation and integrated logistics service providers – as part of a recently announced long-term supply and service contract.
After an intensive tender process that included extensive testing and evaluation, Rentcorp – supported by HFA – was awarded the tender to supply and service Hyundai’s state-of-the-art forklifts to several Schenker Australia sites across NSW, including its flagship site located in Sydney. “Customer expectations are changing rapidly and Schenker will continue to set higher benchmarks in meeting these expectations. Our customers will benefit from productivity efficiencies that deliver reliable, cost-effective services
while meeting our environmental social responsibility objectives, contributing factors in partnering with Hyundai Forklifts Australia,” said Michael Harich, Schenker Australia Director of Contract Logistics/Supply Chain Management AU/NZ. Maximising the use of its forklift fleet over multiple sites was also important to Schenker Australia that opted for Hyundai’s Intelligent Monitoring System – specifically designed for forklifts – which provides live or real-time reporting. This powerful system generates reports on equipment usage patterns and service times
based on actual usage hours. It also minimizes labour intensive actions, achieves improved fleet rotation and supports continuous improvement for service departments through better management of contract terms and service schedules. The entire package offered by Rentcorp and HFA means DB Schenker in Australia can focus on its core business to continue to provide fast turnaround times, cost savings, information flows and customer satisfaction.
Oil Giants Cape PLC chooses Hyundai Forklifts for its Aberdeen Depot
=============================================
Employing 18,000 people in 21 countries and
with a turnover of over £700 million, Cape
PLC is one the foremost suppliers of industrial
services to the oil, gas and petrochemical
industries with operations spanning every
part of the globe.
Cape PLC currently serves 70percent of the
coal, gas and oil power generators along with
80percent of the nuclear power stations in
the UK. To assist with the reliable and timely
distribution of materials in order to fulfil their
clients’ requirements, Cape PLC has recently
appointed Simon Hill as Plant and Logistics
Manager to oversee transport and material
handling services throughout the country.
Already acting as a major supplier to Cape
PLC, material handling specialists, Hessle
were approached to supply the Cape
Offshore base in Aberdeen with a modern
and reliable solution to meet their material
handling requirements.
Hessle have provided the company with a
wide range of material handling solutions in
various guises for over a decade and currently
supply rough terrain, rigid mast and side
loading forklifts to the company. Looking
to offer an extended line up of rigid mast
counterbalance forklifts, Hessle have recently
purchased three new Hyundai machines in
order to fully meet their clients’ extensive list
of requirements for their Aberdeen operation.
The three machines have been delivered
to the Aberdeen depot to facilitate the
movement and loading of materials
destined for use on Cape PLC contracts
both on and off shore with major Blue
Chip producers. “We wanted to change
four older machines for more cost effective
and reliable machines.” explains Simon Hill.
“We drew up a list of must-haves for the
new trucks, particularly the larger machine
with good all round vision, the fitment of a
reversing camera system, weigh load facility
and a fuel efficient, low emission engine.
Gary Hawkhead from Hessle was able to
supply us with an ideal package of 3.5, 5
and 16 ton capacity machines backed up
by their first class service. We have not had
Hyundai forklifts in our fleet before but were
very impressed by the specification and the
attention to detail on all three units.”
The smaller trucks (35D-9A and 50D-9A)
have been supplied as standard units and
are fitted with fuel efficient four cylinder
Kubota diesel engines delivering power
through a power shift transmission with
two forward and two reverse speeds. Heavy
duty axles with wet disc brakes ensure easy
operation, smooth response and are virtually
maintenance free.
The larger machine supplied by Hyundai
will be used to handle full and half height
containers. The 160D-7A is a 16 ton capacity
truck built around a Tier IIIB Cummins engine.
Delivering 123kw, the 6.7 litre engine meets
Cape PLC’s drive for modern fuel efficient
engines. Extremely quiet in operation, the
engine is fitted with two operating modes,
standard and power optimised for fuel
consumption or heavy applications. Operator
comfort is first class with an air suspended,
high back seat featuring a wide range of
movement, adjustable steering column, air
conditioning and USB MP3 player with hands
free Bluetooth.
The 160D offers Cape PLC an impressive lift
height of 3 m to the forks enabling three half
height containers to be stacked together.
“Some of our half heights suffer from tight
openings to get the forks in,” explains Yard
Foreman John Strother. “We were very
impressed that Hessle and Hyundai took
this into account and have supplied us with
a bespoke set of forks that include a longer
taper yet still retaining the length and capacity
we need to lift the units,” he added. The
heavy duty, durable mast has been supplied
with optional hydraulic side shifting fork to
aid speedy and safe operations. A weigh load
indicator has also been fitted along with a full
front and rear lighting package.
Safety on Cape PLC sites is of utmost
importance and all three models are fitted
with Hyundai’s operator presence sensing
system (OPSS) which isolates all mast
movement and drivetrain operation without
the operator being seated. This system is
fitted as standard on the whole range of
Hyundai forklifts making them amongst the
safest machines on the market.
Servicing of the Hyundai machines will be
taken care of by Hessle’s service engineers
with the machines estimated to clock up
1000 hours per year. Service access to all
major components is from ground level on
the smaller trucks while a wide step provides
an ample platform to reach the larger trucks
mechanical and hydraulic equipment on the
larger truck.
